Category:Specific Polish letters

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Polish letters with diacritics and Category:Esperanto letters with diacritics. – Fayenatic London 14:47, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Variant A
  • Propose renaming Category:Specific Polish letters to Category:Polish letters
Variant B
  • Propose renaming Category:Esperanto letters to Category:Specific Esperanto letters
Nominator's rationale: For consistency, these should have the same naming pattern. I would prefer the shorter version, though I get that we specifically don't want to include the basic Latin alphabet in each one of these categories. ~~~~

Category:Albums produced by The Glimmer Twins

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 14:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For band names and music producers we represent their name with lower-case 'the' in running prose, per MOS:NICKNAMETHE and MOS:THEMUSIC. Previous categories have been moved for the same reason; see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 April 25#Category:Albums produced by The Alchemist (musician). Binksternet (talk) 00:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: None of the other categories were tagged. I took care of them, so the nomination has only technically been completed as of the time stamp of this post. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 03:31, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 11:37, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, the category only contains a biography, which is not even specifically about Khakas culture, and a subcategory (see below). Marcocapelle (talk) 16:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 07:23, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per parent category Category:Works about law and to be more defining. I admit the previous rename attempt was ill considered. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:34, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

High medieval Austrian people

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 18:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, articles directly in these categories are generally not people of the margraviate of Austria, so they directly belong in the Holy Roman Empire categories. Provisionally merge also to medieval Austria categories, these need to be diffused further before we can take next steps. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • What? "Austria is not a modern term" - not true. Without the qualifier of Margraviate / Duchy / Archduchy, the term Austria on its own is very much a modern term as it refers to the modern republic. "people covered are Austria's ruler" - not necessarily. "I do not see a close connection with the Holy Roman Empire." - the Margraviate / Duchy / Archduchy of Austria was a state of the HRE. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:32, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Purging leads to emptying, apart from a few spouses of margraves of Austria. Therefore the nomination is to merge immediately. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:9th-century German poets

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This close is no bar to an early re-nomination, as the participants seem to be talking past each other, esp. about nationality/language. I note that the parent hierarchy Category:German people by century does not use "German" before 10th century, so this category is anomalous. – Fayenatic London 19:25, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the Carolingian Empire ended late 9th century and even considering the split of the empire these poets lived in Middle Francia rather than in East Francia ("Germany"). Marcocapelle (talk) 08:25, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "It does not reflect these people's language, or their era's terminology." How do you mean? Category:Carolingian poets is not part of a category tree by language. Many of them wrote in Latin for that matter. In any case it certainly reflects that they were people of the Carolingian Renaissance. And by the way I can't see anything wrong with Byzantine either. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:46, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nomination is not about German-language poetry or poets. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that the point of the nom is to avoid splitting by small state. It is to keep within the legal state of the time - the Carolingian Empire. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, our knowledge about 9th-century duchies and counties within the Carolingian Empire is fairly limited. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, Laurel, you seemingly did not understand the facts. It's about culture group mapping not about states! You misinterpreted it completely. The core of more or less stable historic culture groups is their language. States and their expanding of frontiers topics are maybe just the simple concept techocrats would like best (simple causality). But it is complexity reducing at its worst and certainly not adequate for a culture studies matter like this. --Just N. (talk) 19:02, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Justus Nussbaum: Where is it written that the scope of this, and related categories, is defined as a "culture group" (whatever that might mean)? That's not a concept in Wiki categories as far as I know. Perhaps you mean nations, which is indeed an established Wiki tree structure. However, in the period of time that is the subject of this nomination, it is highly debatable that a German nation, as opposed to a "Germanic people", existed. Germanic peoples lived on both sides of the Rhine; was one "French" / "Frankish" and the other "German"? Highly debatable. I think that the definitive split did not come for a few more generations. That's why we don't have 10th-century French poets. It is safer to label them all as "Carolingian". Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:55, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know where you're coming from with that comment @Peterkingiron:. Nothing that I have written above could conceivably be construed as me supporting a Carolingian language; I have only talked about a Carolingian state or empire. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:43, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mythical utopias

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant, as utopias are already fictional/mythical. A person moved the articles from "Utopias" here recently. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:26, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There are different kinds of utopias: Religious/mythical and secular/scientific/theoretical ones. Actually, every currently known social order was considered "utopian", before it was implemented. On the other side, some functioning countries are sometimes refered to as utopias like Yugoslavia. Anyway, there is no clear line between reality and utopia, but there is a clear line between mythical and non-mythical utopias. Communism is a non-mythical utopia, while Garden Eden is a mythical utopia.--Geysirhead (talk) 12:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I will leave it up to others to decide whether this is accurate. However, if they do decide that it is, I still believe it should be renamed to Category:Fictional utopias to match up with the general naming scheme of the parent category. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:39, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Myth and fiction are different. Fiction has an author or authors, while the source of a myth is unknown.--Geysirhead (talk) 07:51, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Soccer clubs in Shreveport, Louisiana to Category:Sports teams in Shreveport, Louisiana
Nominator's rationale: Previously deleted in 2017, this category was recreated in 2018. 5 of the 6 articles are actually redirects. There is no need to dual merge to Category:Soccer in Shreveport, Louisiana as it will be empty once this category is deleted. User:Namiba 12:06, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge considering WP:SOFTDELETE (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:18, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge to Category:Buildings and structures in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. This WP:SMALLCAT contains just one article and a redirect. User:Namiba 10:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Completely redundant category. No other category exists that groups cancelled games by a particular genre or theme. The current by-platform structure is sufficient. CoolingGibbon (talk) 14:14, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
